It HAD to happen. Sooner or later a new brand would arrive on the scene that tasted like it had been made decades ago (an age of fewer shortcuts) and was just sitting in a warehouse awaiting its proper debut time. Well that time has come, and its name is Don Modesto!
Here’s a new brand that is full of earthy spice, and features soft, well-rounded edges in its flavor profile. Lippy was completely onboard for ALL ages of this stellar juice. Each age varietal was a great representative of its class. The repo was softened and sweetened by the wood, but not “dumbed-down” by it. The anejo added an integrated complexity to the repo while losing little of the spice and tongue-jangly heat.
Get out your wallets, people. Th’ Lip is rating Don Modesto a “buy”!

TEQUILA STATS:

BRAND: DON MODESTO

NOM: 1531

AGAVE SOURCE: Lowlands

GENERAL TASTING NOTES:

Don Modesto forsakes the easy (read: SWEET) path to the American palate and instead serves up LOADS of roasted agave bathed in a spicy and earthy stew. The blanco’s complicated flavors of citrus and slightly bitter minerals come through in all the ages of the brand. This is a brand to buy a lot of and smile about later when your friends ask for another glass!
